Bibiani Gold Stars will be determined to return to winning ways when they host Nations FC at Dun’s Park on Sunday following their recent setback.
Gold Stars slipped from the top of the Ghana Premier League table after defeat to Karela United, but remain firmly in the title race, sitting second with 48 points from 27 matches.
The hosts will take confidence from their outstanding home form, which remains the best in the league and could prove decisive as they look to respond immediately.
Nations FC, currently 12th with 35 points, head into the clash hoping to break into the top half of the table. However, their struggles away from home continue to be a concern ahead of this difficult fixture.
The two sides last met four months ago, with Nations securing a 2-0 victory. Over their previous five encounters since November 2023, Nations have the edge with two wins, compared to one for Gold Stars, while two games ended in draws.
Gold Stars will be eager to deliver a stronger performance after their loss, while Nations come into the game on the back of a draw against Berekum Chelsea.
With the title race tightening and both teams chasing important points for different reasons, Sunday’s encounter promises to be a crucial and competitive showdown.
